Murder in a Small Town season 2 release date, cast and characters, where to watch and more

Based on L.R. Wright’s The Alberg and Cassandra Mysteries, Murder in a Small Town has been renewed for Season 2, which is set to premiere on September 23, 2025.

The new season will have new murder cases for Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) and his love interest, Cassandra Lee (Kristin Kreuk), in Gibsons. 

Fans were not left with any major cliffhangers in the finale episode of the first season, and it ended on a happy note with Karl and Cassandra sharing a kiss and promising to be together for the upcoming adventures.

In the previous season, she shared her willingness to begin a council for the mysterious town, so this season, she might be seen ditching her librarian profession and hopping on to work with Karl in solving cases officially. 

The serial killer in the first season was revealed to be Tommy Cummins (the town’s local art teacher).

Karl and his team discovered that his portraits of women resembled photos of murder victims, indicating he may have killed more people than anyone thought.

The locals in Gibsons were in relief after Tommy’s arrest, but not anymore, as Murder in a Small Town season 2 brings more mysterious murder cases to haunt them.

Release date of Murder in a Small Town season 2

What is Murder in a Small Town season 2 all about?

The official logline of the series reads:

‘’In the second season, Karl’s jurisdiction expands and he will have to contend with an increased caseload and limited resources, investigating cases like a body found at a local wedding between members of two feuding families; a double kidnapping that may mask an even bigger crime; a pop star who retreated to Gibsons for a quiet vacation only to be followed by a dangerous stalker; and many more.’’
